The Beauty of
Sail “There is nothing so breathtaking as to watch the confluence of wind and your sails. Once you become a sailor, you’re hooked. It’s called ‘The Beauty of Sail.’” An eloquent description from the homeowner of his favorite pastime and a clear reflection of the coastal ambience that he and his wife wanted for their suburban St. Louis home. When you live in the Midwest but your heart is in the Florida Keys, you are challenged to find an interior designer who can make your ocean-inspired dreams come true. And they did just that.
DID YOU KNOW? One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is choosing a paint color first, rather than after furnishings, rugs and fabrics have been chosen. It’s much more difficult to design around an existing color that might not work with everything else.
L Custom painted palm trees add an extra special touch to this coastal dining room and play off the green console chest in the adjacent hallway.
